@ooww So just gotta go slower I guess? Last time I noticed it was going uphill after about a 6-mile ride. I have stepped up my game recently and I usually maintain about 18mph speed so maybe I'm just pushing the board way harder recently?

@starrett67 It's going to constantly push back if you are trying to accelerate up hill near max speed. Just push a little harder and it will dump you off, not enough speed/torque to balance. Hopefully you are wearing protective gear!

@starrett67 When trying to explain how people should "listen" to their OW I refer to bicycling. 18mph on a flat road is easy on a bicycle. 18 mph on a slope is hard. The OW is struggling to deliver enough power. So yes, slow down, smooth acceleration, "listen" to the board and you'll be fine.

Yes, for the first three weeks my XR worked exactly as advertised. No issues at all. Then once the issues started they got worse quickly. I can’t do my commute without a charge. My commute is only six miles.

It is a feature built into the firmware. The surging is extra effort to get the wheel under you and prevent a nosedive if it senses you are starting to push it toward the limit. Pushback is a warning when you are gradually pushing the limit of speed and available power. Surging is a warning that you might be aggressively pushing that limit. You are more likely to get pushback on level ground, and surging when going uphill, over bumps, or anything else that might suddenly draw a lot of power.

If you are feeling that momentary surging, slipping feeling, back off.

My XR is not performing to spec. 8 miles on flat ground from a full charge is pathetic.

This is a serious issue for a $2000 device. If you are saying there is no quality control, and the company won’t care, then I made a bad purchase and need to get the retailer/ credit card company involved.

I have a V1 and mine does that pulsing when I get to approx 30% battery. I personally think the battery just doesn't have enough nuts to push the board up hill at that point. I also personally think that the V1 and Plus don't have enough battery power from the factory.

I ordered the battery kit from two-x. I'm looking forward to seeing how much the power is improved along with the extended range.
